Chapter 46: The War of Defense (2)
Thunder Base Central Command Hall
"Damn. Why are there so many www.biquge.info in the pen "Fun" Pavilion again?" General Zhao Tian said as he looked at the battle situation on the screen, "What about the casualties of the soldiers." ”
"Lost a third of the troops in the first blockade. Xie Fei replied.
"What will happen if we continue to block the first line of defense?" General Zhao Tian asked.
"Judging by the first casualties, if it continues like this, the whole army will be wiped out. Because the number of Winter Soldiers is several times as large as just now. There were already so many casualties in the first blockade, if it continues. Xie Fei didn't finish his words.
"Yes. General Zhao Tian thought about it, he had to make a choice now, however, he still thought of something, the only air force support had been used up, even without the support of the air force, there were still other ways.
"Chief of Staff Wang. General Zhao Tian asked an ordinary officer with glasses who had been sitting next to him, "Are the artillery ready?"
"Just in place General. Counselor Wang replied.
"Xie Fei, give the next order, let all the troops of the defense line withdraw to the second defense line, and prepare for the bombardment, I don't want to be injured by mistake, after all, the winter soldiers and the position are too close, if you don't withdraw, I'm afraid you will be killed." The power of the 155mm self-propelled howitzer is not small. General Zhao Tian replied.
"Immediately give the order. ”
The first line of defense, each soldier looked at the winter soldier in front of him many times more than just now, everyone felt a lot of pressure, watching the endless winter soldier like a white horizon moving in their direction, everyone silently clenched their guns, however, the soldier's heart was still a little uneasy, because this time, they did not have the mine array and barbed wire to block the advance of the winter soldier, they had no bottom in their hearts, whether they could rely on bullets to completely destroy the winter soldier before they rushed to their position, if they rushed to the position, it was difficult to win close to the body。
Just as they were under pressure and preparing to make a final desperate resistance, at this time, the radio on the position sounded.
"The latest order that has just come from the command center is that all troops should withdraw to the second line of defense as quickly as possible, abandon all heavy equipment, go into battle lightly, and evacuate their positions as quickly as possible. Repeat the evacuation of positions as quickly as possible......"
Hearing this order, none of the soldiers finally breathed a sigh of relief, and soon, they abandoned their heavy weapons, armed only with the most basic defensive weapons, and under the command of the junior officers, one group after another evacuated their positions in an orderly and rapid manner, and soon the positions were empty, leaving only heavy machine guns and some ammunition boxes, and hundreds of unused bazookas. and bullets.
More than 100 PLZ-05 self-propelled howitzers on the artillery positions dozens of kilometers away are long-barreled tracked self-propelled guns with a caliber of 155mm, which are one of the main battle artillery equipment developed by China.
The gun was developed in the 90s of the twentieth century and was developed from the PLZ-45 self-propelled cannon howitzer. It is the same as the German PZH2000 in that it uses a third-generation self-propelled gun with a 52-caliber barrel.
The length of the barrel has been increased to 52 times the caliber, and the volume of the medicine chamber has also been increased accordingly, and when the domestic high-efficiency rigid double module ****** is used, the muzzle velocity of the projectile has increased from 897m/s of the original 45 times the caliber gun to more than 930m/s. The maximum range of the concave grenade has reached 40 km, and the maximum range of the bottom row grenade is more than 50 km. Thanks to the automatic loader, the rate of fire can reach more than 8 rounds/min, and the burst rate of fire can reach 4 rounds/15s, and it can hit the same target.
Rows of self-propelled howitzer muzzles were in the direction of Position No. 1, ready to pour out their fury at any moment.
"The troops have all been withdrawn. Xie Fei reported to General Zhao Tian like this.
"Open the cannon!" General Zhao Tian ordered.
At this time, after the order of more than 100 self-propelled howitzers was issued, the soldiers in charge of calibrating the artillery positions raised the small red triangular flag in their hands, and then put it down in an instant.
More than 100 artillery pieces fired in an instant, the muzzles of more than 100 guns burst into flames at the same time, the roar of the huge artillery opened up the ground of the entire artillery position to shake with it, more than 100 shells pierced the sky like golden flashes, and it was as beautiful as a meteor shower, but behind this beauty, there was death.
At this time, the army of the Winter Soldiers had advanced to the No. 1 defense line, and as soon as they crossed the trench, they heard a piercing whistling sound falling from the sky, and one of the Winter Soldiers looked into the sky, only to see more than 100 shells sliding towards them like golden meteors.
"Boom!", more than 100 howitzer shells exploded almost simultaneously, and the land within a hectare instantly rolled up with exploding smoke and dust, and the entire land seemed to be overturned, and the mud mixed with snowflakes and the wreckage of the Winter Soldier flew everywhere!
At this time, the commander of the artillery position again gave the order to open fire! Another salvo!
A few seconds later,
Another salvo, numerous explosions occurred in front of the No. 1 position, and each salvo meant that a hectare of land would be swept away.
The shelling continued for several minutes, and each vehicle had all its spare shells before stopping.
After the bombardment ended, the No. 1 position and the surrounding land were devastated, the ground was full of craters blown by shells, the trench defense line of dozens of kilometers was also filled with soil blown by the shells, and the fortifications of the entire defense line were completely destroyed.
However, again, hundreds of thousands of Winter Soldiers' armies were completely destroyed after this bombardment. At this time, judging from the footage of the drone reconnaissance in the command hall, the army of the Winter Soldiers was completely wiped out by them.
The entire commanding people, hugged each other, threw hats, and celebrated this hard-won victory!
"We succeeded!" Xie Fei said happily.
General Zhao Tian's face also showed a rare smile.
However, at this time, it was found that the weather that had just been sunny for a while was overcast again, and the sun was obscured by thick clouds. The north wind is still howling and chilling. The snow began to fall again.
Everyone stopped celebrating, and General Zhao Tian's face was gloomy again, because everyone present knew that snow was not a good sign.
"Look!"
The picture on the big screen changed again, and everyone's heartstrings tightened again, as they saw countless frozen soldiers formed again, and in no less number than in the first wave!
"It seems that if the magic array does not stop, the pace of the Winter Soldier will not stop. General Zhao Tian said.
"Then what should I do?" said Counselor Wang, "the troops need to be reinforced. ”
"What about the news from the artillery positions? How long will it take for a second shelling. General Zhao Tian asked.
"Not for the time being, they have finished shooting spare shells and are loading, and there will be no artillery fire support for the next 3 hours. Xie Fei reported.
"What about the situation of the No. 1 line of defense?" General Zhao Tian asked.
"It's all in ruins, and the fortifications have been completely destroyed in the bombardment just now. Counselor Wang reported.
"That's right. ”
"At the speed at which they spawn, how long do you expect it to reach the line of defense?"
"Two hours. ”
"In other words, we can only use the remaining forces to defend the second line of defense, without artillery and air support?" General Zhao Tian asked.
"Theoretically, that's the only option we have. Counselor Wang replied.
"How's the armored brigade assembled?" General Zhao Tian asked.
"It's ready, ready to go to the battlefield. Xie Fei replied.
"Order them to go to the second line of defense, they must resist, this line of defense must be held at all costs. General Zhao Tian ordered that no matter how high the price is, they must not miss, and Shanghai must not be lost!
At this time, Xiao Song Feixue, who had been watching the battle as flying snow, saw that the Winter Soldier army was unable to advance for a long time, she smiled, she didn't expect that the resistance of the human army was so strong, which was somewhat unexpected by her.
It seemed that it was not possible to cling to the Winter Soldier, she didn't want to take this step, but the Winter Soldier's march was stopped, and she had to do so.
She clapped her palms, the north wind howled even more, and the eyes of the four giant Vermilion Birds, Xuanwu Qinglong and White Tiger, and the four 40-meter-tall frozen sculptures located in the southeast, northwest and northwest suburbs of Shanghai also began to light up with ice-blue light like the Winter Soldiers! They began to move! The giant sculptures with a height of 20 stories began to move, and the target was Shanghai! Among them, the green dragon and the vermilion bird flew up with their wings in the fierce north wind! When they took off, they rolled up a heavy rain of ice chips!
Komatsu Feixue smiled, the show had just begun, but just as she was getting ready to enjoy the show, she spotted a man on the street, wearing a red scarf, which stood out in the cold and empty street.
Xiao Matsu Feixue was stunned, she was very familiar with this person: "Why are you still ...... in this city" Xiao Matsu Feixue muttered in a low voice, and she flew quickly towards the direction where Jiang Sato was.
At this time, the nerves of all the people in the central command hall were raised to their throats, the problem of the Winter Soldier army has not been solved, but the more difficult problem of the four elephants has appeared, can you imagine the scene of a 40-meter-tall big guy making a big fuss in the urban area with high-rise buildings? That's right, the scene of the little monster destroying the city is really staged!
And because of the poor meteorological conditions, the fighters of the Air Force could not take off, and the main forces on the ground were fending off the army of the Winter Soldiers. This means that they don't have enough troops to stop the sculpture of the Four Elephants!
Just when everyone in the command center was like ants on a hot pot, a picture suddenly inserted on the big screen, and the faces of the people on it were very familiar, yes, it was Van Helsing.
"I heard you need support?" Van Helsing said in his first sentence.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief that he had arrived at a good time.
"What are you going to do? This is a big guy. General Zhao Tian said.
"It doesn't matter, we have a couple of guys who aren't much smaller than them. Van Helsing said humorously.
"Oh?"
"General, have you ever seen a real dragon?"
